My fondest memory of Bruce is his 1969 Yearbook Photo: holding a camera, ready to capture the next image. He was a great guy,outgoing, funny but with great leadership presence. All of his thousands of images he took over the years will be his gift to all of us in passing. John Brennan, Libertyville Illinois.
